i Article: Why ‘Sleeping Giants’ Bradford City Aren’t Your Typical EFL Basket Case

Be careful what you wish for and the grass is not always greener.
I don't dislike Mr Rupp, i do not know the guy, but i do wish he had more interest in us than just something he bought as an investment.
Unfortunately we are stuck with him and his policy's, until someone meets his valuation.
There are worse owners and better out there and as far as we know, he is not bleeding the club dry.
When he and the shister bought in, we all thought happy days are on the way. Hindsight is a wonderful thing.

 

Reality is setting in for many Andy? Clearly we don’t like the non-interventionist, non investment to speculate and progress, but at least for the moment the club is on a stable footing. I read a lot and just have a look around most of the EFL and their financial woes and I mean WOES in capital letters , we are vastly better off than most , that I can gaurantee .

Merry Xmas one and all.. and hopefully lots of points over the festive season!

Safe journey for those making the trip tonight!

 

I have always been realistic about our football club Kevin, heading fast towards 50 years of watching and we are, what we were, with a couple of purple patches thrown in.
Because of our so called struggles, these purple patches were all the more sweeter.
Of course i would love us to be higher up the pyramid, with more cup runs thrown in, but so would all fans of lower league teams.
Valley parade and the club, is so much more than the football to me.

 

Agreed, that’s why most of the “ stuff” no longer phases. Been there, seen it, done and worn the T-shirt. Still won’t stop me still loving every minute of the 64 years of being a fan, in reality we lived next door and my dad was a life long fan too! I had little option ………..

 

Guys, I agree with all the sentiments and have witnessed the same from 1974 but we don't have to accept mediocrity just because we are Bradford? We should push on. Why should Wycombe -Fleetwood - Carlisle etc etc be any better than us?

 

Not sure we can be considered as sleeping giants - when were we ever a "giant"?

 

1911

 

I am not sure i accept it, just realistic and resigned to what it is, much like the rest of Bradford really, which is a real shame , as this was once a great city to live in.

 

Spot on the money.
